The premiere of Friday Jams!

I decided to start a new weekly post on Fridays called Friday Jams! This gives me a chance to post about things I love, or things that are my jam, jelly and marmalade!!

Jam:

So this is definitely a slow jam but what a song. This album and this song have been in my life for 15 years, and this song has been with me for almost every crush I have ever had, which is a powerful thing. But I honestly think this version of the song is a perfect representation of longing: Ani's performance vocally and instrumentally is a little delicate and reined in, and the slide guitar is a perfect accompaniment to represent the bittersweet tang of un/requited love. If you like Ani, and you don't have this album, do yourself a favor and check it out.

Jelly:

Meelo is my patronus, funny eyebrows, lumpy head and all. BE THE LEAF! Actually The Legend of Korra has been pretty amazing thus far, I'm pretty excited to see where it goes (and to find out who Lin's father is!!!)

Marmalade:
I just started reading "Zone One" and it is so so so good. I don't mind zombie fiction and I do read it, but most of it is just genre fiction. This is a zombie book that defies its genre, and I would even go so far as to compare it to "World War Z". Well worth checking out.
